I have to say Squiggles can sound a bit snappy/jugmental at times, I don't think he/she means any harm but perhapse Squiggles could be more careful.
Regarding the combinations of MAO and SSRI I have some experience, I also know it can be done.
I think combining is often done when the patient is in hospital so they can be monitored.I personaly combined Moclobemide with low dose Citalopram on a one of occasion, it made me feel ok but I did have the feeling that if I'd gone higher it might not have been good.
I also combined Moclobemide with generic Fluoxetine which caused a panic attack!I think that Clomipramine and an MAO might go well together, Clomipramine is a Serotonin antagonist as well as a re-uptake inhibitor, which helps reduce the chance of serotonin syndrome apparently.
I don't mean to be jugmental but are you sure you want to try this combination? How about combining a stimulent like Dexedrine with Nardil, I personaly think this would be safer, I know others will disagree!
